Live Brief

Before I go to Australia I have one live brief to complete. I have chosen to use the work of Leutton Postle as inspiration.

I love their themes and ideas as well as the outlandish knitwear they create.



I started out by identifying the key themes that they use;

  • Traditional craft
  • Tribal dressing
  • Geometry
  • Childishness
  • Found objects

They use mixtures of these themes to create textural pieces of knit for fashion. I love the bold and orange colour scheme and the chunky knit used because it is eye catching and very 'in your face'. I am excited to explore using a similar studio practise. I am approaching this brief from an embroidery point of view so I want to use geometry and tribal as inspiration. I am keen to use found objects when I begin sampling as I feel this will reflect further upon Leutton Postle's themes and ideas.
